HOW WOULD I RESPOND TO THESE? - The predetermined overhead rate is based on the relationship between estimated annual overhead costs and estimated annual operating activity, expressed in terms of a common activity base. The company may state the activity in terms of direct labor costs, direct labor hours, machine hours, or any other measure that provides an equitable basis for applying overhead costs to jobs. Companies establish the predetermined overhead rate at the beginning of the year. The formula...
Exercise 2-1 Compute a Predetermined Overhead Rate [LO2-1] Harris Fabrics computes its plantwide predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 20,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $94,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.00 per direct labor-hour. Harris's actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $123.900 and its...
